Slider (The Spent Poets) - Information and Discography

• After Spent Poets, Matt Winegar formed Slider. They recorded an album "Fremont" with Wic (William Ireland Coleman) on bass, and Josh Freese on drums. It was shelved. When finally released, it had a new name "Sudden Fun", one changed song title, a new closing track and Matt had re-recorded the bass parts himself.
• Apparently, the above-mentioned Wic played guitar in the final live Spent Poets incarnation?
• Matt played on and did co-production for Fungo Mungo's "Humungous".
• This article talks about Slider but doesn't get into the details of what happened between the two recordings of the record.
• Matt is currently in Utah and producing such bands as Ghostowne and Day Two.
• Matt Winegar's MySpace page is here.
• Josh Freese's semi-official MySpace page is here.
• This is probably Wic's MySpace page.
